Packaging cell lines for simian foamy virus type 1 vectors.

Wu M, Mergia A.

Department of Pathobiology, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32610, USA.

Foamy viruses are nonpathogenic retroviruses that offer several unique opportunities for gene transfer in various cell types from different species. We have previously demonstrated the utility of simian foamy virus type 1 (SFV-1) as a vector system by transient expression assay (M. Wu et al., J. Virol. 72:3451-3454, 1998). In this report, we describe the first stable packaging cell lines for foamy virus vectors based on SFV-1. We developed two packaging cell lines in which the helper DNA is placed under the control of either a constitutive cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate-early gene or inducible tetracycline promoter for expression. Although the constitutive packaging expressing cell line had a higher copy number of packaging DNA, the inducible packaging cell line produced four times more vector particles. This result suggested that the structural gene products in the constitutively expressing packaging cell line were expressed at a level that is not toxic to the cells, and thus vector production was reduced. The SFV-1 vector in the presence of vesicular stomatitis virus envelope protein G (VSV-G) produced an insignificant level of transduction, indicating that foamy viruses could not be pseudotyped with VSV-G to generate high-titer vectors. The availability of stable packaging cell lines represents a step toward the use of an SFV-1 vector delivery system that will allow scaled-up production of vector stocks for gene therapy.

Drosophila melanogaster is a genetically tractable model host for Mycobacterium marinum.

Dionne MS, Ghori N, Schneider DS.

Mycobacterium marinum is a pathogenic mycobacterial species that is closely related to Mycobacterium tuberculosis and causes tuberculosis-like disease in fish and frogs. We infected the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster with M. marinum. This bacterium caused a lethal infection in the fly, with a 50% lethal dose (LD(50)) of 5 CFU. Death was accompanied by widespread tissue damage. M. marinum initially proliferated inside the phagocytes of the fly; later in infection, bacteria were found both inside and outside host cells. Intracellular M. marinum blocked vacuolar acidification and failed to colocalize with dead Escherichia coli, similar to infections of mouse macrophages. M. marinum lacking the mag24 gene were less virulent, as determined both by LD(50) and by death kinetics. Finally, in contrast to all other bacteria examined, mycobacteria failed to elicit the production of antimicrobial peptides in DROSOPHILA: We believe that this system should be a useful genetically tractable model for mycobacterial infection.

Upon infection of a host, the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is attacked by the reactive oxygen species produced by phagocytic cells. Detoxification of hydrogen peroxide by catalases was proposed as a way to overcome this host response. A. fumigatus produces three active catalases; one is produced by conidia, and two are produced by mycelia. The mycelial catalase Cat1p was studied previously. Here we characterized the two other catalases, their genes, and the phenotypes of gene-disrupted mutants. CatAp, a spore-specific monofunctional catalase, is resistant to heat, metal ions, and detergent. This enzyme is a dimeric protein with 84.5-kDa subunits. The 749-amino-acid polypeptide exhibits high levels of similarity to the Aspergillus nidulans CatA catalase and to bacterial catalase HPII of Escherichia coli. In spite of increased sensitivity to H(2)O(2), killing of DeltacatA conidia by alveolar macrophages and virulence in animals were similar to the killing of conidia by alveolar macrophages and virulence in animals observed for the wild type. In contrast to the Cat1p and CatAp catalases, the mycelial Cat2p enzyme is a bifunctional catalase-peroxidase and is sensitive to heat, metal ions, and detergent. This enzyme, an 82-kDa monomer, is homologous to catalase-peroxidases of several fungi and bacteria. Surprisingly, mycelium of the double Deltacat1Deltacat2 mutant with no catalase activity exhibited only slightly increased sensitivity to H(2)O(2) and was as sensitive to killing by polymorphonuclear neutrophils as mycelium of the wild-type strain. However, this mutant exhibited delayed infection in the rat model of aspergillosis compared to infection by the wild-type strain. These results indicate that conidial catalase is not a virulence factor and that mycelial catalases transiently protect the fungus from the host.

Comprehensive analysis of the factor h binding capabilities of borrelia species associated with lyme disease: delineation of two distinct classes of factor h binding proteins.

McDowell JV, Wolfgang J, Tran E, Metts MS, Hamilton D, Marconi RT.

Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond 23298-0678, USA.

Some Lyme disease spirochete isolates can bind complement regulatory protein factor H (fH), a process that may allow evasion of complement-mediated killing. Here we demonstrate significant differences in the fH binding capabilities of species of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. The percentages of B. burgdorferi, B. afzelii, and B. garinii bacteria that bound fH in either enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays or affinity ligand binding immunoblot assays were 100, 83, and 29%, respectively. The fH binding protein profiles were examined and found to exhibit variability among isolates and to form two distinct classes. Differences in fH binding ability may contribute to the differences in pathogenesis and clinical course observed upon infection with different species of the B. burgdorferi sensu lato complex.

Listeriolysin O-mediated calcium influx potentiates entry of Listeria monocytogenes into the human Hep-2 epithelial cell line.

Dramsi S, Cossart P.

Unite des Interactions Bacteries-Cellules, Institut Pasteur, 75724 Paris Cedex 15, France.

To investigate factors which modulate the entry of Listeria monocytogenes into mammalian cells, we have analyzed the role of Ca(2+). We show that L. monocytogenes induced Ca(2+) transients into the human Hep-2 epithelial cell line. The nonpathogenic species L. innocua or a L. monocytogenes mutant strain defective in listeriolysin O (LLO) production was unable to induce these calcium fluxes. Addition of plasma membrane calcium channel antagonists or chelation of extracellular calcium markedly reduced L. monocytogenes entry. In contrast, chelation of host cytosolic Ca(2+) or blockade of Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores did not affect invasion. These results indicate that L. monocytogenes-induced mobilization of extracellular Ca(2+) by LLO and activation of downstream Ca(2+)-dependent signaling are required for efficient cell invasion.

Sudden, and premature hair loss and baldness is a problem in many ways. Baldness is indeed becoming an increasing concern in the current aging society.
It changes personal appearance and identity in social context. Saw palmetto berry extract is a widely known herbfor hair loss as well as BPH problems in Western world. Saw palmetto berry contains phytochemicals that inhibits 5-alpha-reductase that converts testosterone to DHT.

There are a number of traditional herbs that could stop hair loss and promotes hair growth. Numerous personal experiences and anecdotal cases testify that the herbal formula based on the Chinese herbs improves the situation of the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a large fraction of people taking it regularly. It is unknown how Hair Million herbs stop hair loss, and promote hair growth due to the lack of scientific research and placebo controlled clinical trials.
